The class structure in Iran is that, the rich are considered royal, and the people with less money were considered "servants" to the upper class or to others in general. The people that were poor often had lower jobs, like running market places and farming, manual labor for money. The rich were born into that kind of money meaning they didn't have to work for their money. The rich hold the most political power of anybody, under the government. These rich people often tend to look down on the middle-class and lower-class people. Since the lower-class is considered the working class, they often times have to do the lower dirty jobs nobody else wants to do. Since the area is 1.6 million sq. km. there is 9.78% arable land in the country. The climate is semiarid meaning it is subtropical along the Caspian coast. There is a population of 77,891,220. The ethnic groups in Iran are; Persian 61%, Azeri 16%, Kurd 10%, Lur 6%, Baloch 2%, Arab 2%, Turkmen and Turkic tribes 2%. The religions in Iran are: Shi'a 89%, Sunni 9%, Zoroastrian, Jewish, Christian, and Baha'i 2%. The languages that are mainly spoken, in order, are Persian 53%, Azeri Turkic and Turkic dialects 18%, Kurdish 10%, Gilaki and Mazandarani 7%, Luri 6%, Balochi 2%, Arabic 2%. Since there were so many cultures and classes, each class had been allotted a certain number of voted when come time to vote. This caused some up roar and very bad things to happen to others. In all, money will and has caused problems in the past, now, and for centuries to come. Money causes people to think differently and do different things, it clots your thinking in your own head. Since money is something not everybody has, people feel better than others, thus creating class structures. Money has played a big roll in wars, the government, and even the history of Iran. No matter what, there will always be a poor, a well off, and a rich group of people.
